FSW Fall 2015

Published

Florida Southwestern State College formerly Edison State College. I started thread for FSW but it is full with spring applicants. So I decided to start a new one for this upcoming fall.

Who is joining me next fall in nursing?

I plan to apply for Part-time or Lee full time. I have one more semester of pre-requisites. I am taking A&P 1, Micro, College Algebra and Nutrition. Kill me now. :arghh: lol A full time semester of craziness but almost done after that hopefully with pre-requisites with the exemption of A&P 2 and a humanities class.

I plan to take the Hesi in mid Feb or march and retake if needed at the end of April. Schedule has been posted and I plan to study a lot this winter break. So excited but so nervous.

I told you it hurt....i couldnt even sleep on that side, couldnt lean against any walls....and it got worse on day 2 and 3 then finally started feeling ok again...still a bit tender....then to top it off, i had the influenza on the opposite arm, so i couldnt lay on that one either, i ended up with a fever and still have it 4 or 5 days later, and i had an extreme reaction to the ppd, but thankfully it was just a bad reaction and not positive...no more future tests for me! Just gotta have dr sign paper and get xrays every few years...not yearly, ya!

Oh my. I'm not looking forward to the next few days then. I took an ibrophen because I didnt have Tylenol. I couldn't stand pain. Now I hope I can sleep peacefully. Lol and then after varicella titer and flu shot I don't want anymore tests.

So you guys are saying we don't need the Titers if we have taken the immunizations before? I received my immunization records from the school district and think i pretty much have everything.

Has anyone heard the time frame we should be receiving the online orientation?

I do have the dates, but I only thought I should put the new date (when I begin the series again) because on the form it says anti-hbs titer and I won't have documented proof that I'm immune. Is the anti-hbs mandatory? if its not I will most likely just put the original dates I got them in 1994/1997 and get the series again for my own sake.

So how do we get the color vision test done or do we need to right now ? My doctor said lmhs would do it if needed. 😐

Those are cute and the price is great, but our manual says no clogs. I didn't think shoe shopping would be this difficult! :)

I got really nice ones at Nordstrom rack, Dolce Vita for only $30 (clearance ).

I dont think you need a new series. If in doubt take titer. There is no reason to revaccinate again.

I did do the titer, that's the thing. And it showed that I'm not immune to Hep B.

If you have ever had one, then that pass/fail can be applied...lee employee health will complete the full school health record gor $25.....but u gotta make an appointment.. If your dictor did the physical he should have put the date of the physical as the pass date....fill it in if you need to
